There are bears all over New Bern, North Carolina!

"Luckily these bears are of the friendly variety, made of fiberglass, and decorated by artists from Craven, Pamlico and Jones counties. They were created in celebration of New Bern’s 300th anniversary. What started from a small committee of civic-minded citizens, the project has blossomed into a non-profit organization with a vision for fiberglass bears decorating local businesses and public locations for the upcoming yearlong celebration of New Bern’s 300th birthday." -Posted by Tate Johnson, Director of the Governor's Eastern Office Click to read more about the bears.
